Hello all, I'm trying to install the Python Imaging Library 1.1.6 for Python 2.6. After downloading the installation executable (Win XP), I receive the following error message: "Application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem" Any thoughts on what I hav...
Imagine you have an executable foo.rb, with libraries bar.rb layed out in the following manner: <root>/bin/foo.rb <root>/lib/bar.rb In the header of foo.rb you place the following require to bring in functionality in bar.rb: require File.dirname(__FILE__)+"../lib/bar.rb" This works fine so long as all calls to foo.rb are direct. I...
I'm looking for an open source C# .NET Financial Functions library. Something that does IRR (Internal Rate of Return) and other common functions that are available in applications like Excel. Suggestions? ...
Hi everyone I've been coding for some time, and I always thought the linking phase of compilation was pretty straight forward, but recently I had to add a plugin system to an app, and I ran into quite a few compilation and runtime problems, due to my complete lack of knowledge on the matter. I've now got it working fine and learned a lo...
Am looking for checkpointing library for C#. Any ideas ? see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_checkpointing ...
What tag libraries you know for J2EE - JSP, something like displaytag ? ...
I've always been confused about how the linker works, and it's a difficult subject to search for. To demonstrate my question and to provide a framework for an answer, I'll put down what I know (or think I know) so far. I may be very wrong. :) First, each .cpp file is built into an intermediate file (.o for Posix/ELF and .obj for Win/PE...
To me at least, the Pair class is a very multi-purpose class. So why did Microsoft put it into the System.Web.UI namespace? Is there a reason that my tiny brain cannot comprehend? Thanks. ...
Can anyone recommend a good Java JSON library (better than the one from http://json.org/)? I've also found JSON-lib, which definitely looks like an improvement, but I'm wondering if there is anything that is even better than that? ...
Using python 2.4 and the built-in ZipFile library, I cannot read very large zip files (greater than 1 or 2 GB) because it wants to store the entire contents of the uncompressed file in memory. Is there another way to do this (either with a third-party library or some other hack), or must I "shell out" and unzip it that way (which isn't ...
This is kinda a general question for the development community, since there are lots of experienced devs here. I'm currently building a developer utility addin module which requires code to exist in applications which will be adopting it. I'm looking to support at least native C++ and .NET applications initially, with support for other ...
I have recently written a dynamic querying tool using expression trees and as I went the power of expression trees began to dawn on me. My querying tool could also form the basis of a reporting tool, a dynamic decision engine and maybe other cases where you need to work with dynamic objects in abstract ways. The process has been painfu...
When writing application code, it's generally accepted that premature micro-optimization is evil, and that profiling first is essential, and there is some debate about how much, if any, higher level optimization to do up front. However, I haven't seen any guidelines for when/how to optimize generic code that will be part of a library or...
I need to create an object which exposes an IDictionary<K,V> interface, but I don't want to fill in the entire interface implemntation. It would be nice to have the equivalent of Java's AbstractDictionary, which leaves you very little to impelment a complete dictionary (HashMap, in Java): If you don't need to iterate the collection, y...
We have to convert EVERYTHING to images for archiving purpose. DOC, HTML, email, ZIP, PDF, TXT and any document you can read/view on computer. In addition, it must recursive convent on all embed attachment and files in zip. I know ImgMaker only. Is it the best or I can have something better? My boss ask me to search that are there any ...
I'm looking for a C library to load .BMP image-files. I've found a lot of code on the net, but everything I've seen so far is useless for me. Either the code seems to be in a good shape but it only supports just or two of the possible sub-formats, or the code supports all major sub-formats but does not error-checking and handling at al...
Our company (xyz) is moving a lot of our Flash code to Python. In Flash, we have a shared library between our Flash apps - package xyz. We can make changes to the package without fear of breaking other apps when they are deployed because Flash compiles their code and includes the contents of the library. We deploy the final SWF via RPM,...
I'll be quick and honest: I'm currently trying to write a client/server for an online game. Since I'm poor and limited on resources, I'll be testing the bare basics of the server using a PHP backend, with the eventual goal being to rebuild the server end in C++. I'm looking for a C++ library for Windows (XP and Vista preferably) that wi...
We are implementing an application that needs dockable windows, similar to Visual Studio 2005/2008, but with multiple "docking sites", unlike VS's single one. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good library for this - either OSS or commercial? I am aware that Infragistics has one, as well as Divelement's SandDock and WPF-Dock from De...
I want to put my dependent files in the app directory. I seem to remember that you can force VB6 to use the files in the local directory only. Any hints? ...
